and submit a Form of Proxy (whether online or by requesting a hard

procedures set out in the CREST Manual so that it is received by
Link (under CREST participant RA10) by no later than at 9:00 a.m.
on 13 June 2024. The time of receipt will be taken to be the time
from which Link is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST
in the manner prescribed by CREST.
Institutional investors may also be
able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform,
a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the
Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go
to
www.proxymity.io and refer to the notes
to the Notice of General Meeting at Part VI of the
Circular.
Completion of the Placing,
Subscription and Open Offer remain conditional upon, inter alia, the approval by
Shareholders of the Resolutions at the General Meeting and
Admission occurring. The Placing is also conditional upon the
Placing and Open Offer Agreement between the Company, Panmure and
Dowgate becoming unconditional and not being terminated in
accordance with its terms.
Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms not otherwise
defined in the text of this announcement have the same meanings
ascribed to them as in the "Proposed Placing, Subscription and Open
Offer" announcement published by the Company on 29 May 2024. The

future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks and

limited to, commercial, operational, economic and financial
factors, that could cause actual results, financial condition,
performance or achievements to differ materially from those

Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as changes
in taxation or fiscal policy, future market conditions, currency
fluctuations, the behaviour of other market participants, the
actions of governments or governmental regulators, or other risk
factors, such as changes in the political, social and regulatory
framework in which the Company operates or in economic or
technological trends or conditions, including inflation, recession
